mercruiser 5.7 breaking.

just gauging interest at the mo to see what parts are worth and wanted, if it looks like I will be sat with a pile of bits for ages then I will re build.
the boat was sat for 2 years so I took manifolds and risers off and the risers were shot. I took heads off to check for any water ingres, there is signs of water in 3 and 4 cylinders. I gave it a clean and I am very confident that they will hone out., the marks are half size of a 5p and you cant feel with your nail
bits not available are risers and damper/coupler plate as that is bad.
will get serial numbers and year

just got back from hols and remembered about this under my bench at work. I would like to get rid of the whole package as it stands.
5.7V8 mercruiser
4bbl carb
heads removed for inspection (tiny water mark on 1 bore) would easily hone if you even wanted to its so small.
if anyone wants it delivered to southampton portsmouth or lymington I would pallet it in a van and take it off the isle of wight. (would need to fork lift off the other side) or have some big mates
